Well last week while I was cleaning out my workshop, I came across a box of rocks that my wife and I picked up on our 1 year anniverssary up in Minnesota. I decided to plop them in an empty tumbler and see what comes out. Here are the results after 60/90 and 10 days.
Now I have no idea what these are, I'm going to assume they are all agates, more possibly Lake Superior Agates (as they were found on the beach of Lake Superior). I have broken them down by what I believe would be different types. Either way, I'm liking what I see so far. Enjoy the pictures.

I also took out the Apache Tears from the pre-polish grind. I think I'm going to put these to the side for a while till my vibe comes in and I can buy some Tripoli and a finer grind for polish. But at least they don't show any cracks or chips. There's only about 3/4 of a pound here.
